Refused leave

Post by frankieboy »

Getting married in 2 weeks time, management knew about this in january. Just wanted a week off after the wedding to go on honeymoon, finally been told by my manager that that week is unavailable and can,t have that week off. Thanks royal mail for making my wedding a memorable one, bloody joke. :Applause
